When the Father of Capitalism Wrote About Happiness
Here's a puzzle: the man who gave us capitalism's invisible hand spent far more time writing about morality than markets. Adam Smith is remembered for explaining how self-interest drives prosperity, yet his first and favorite book wasn't about wealth-it was about becoming a better person. "The Theory of Moral Sentiments" sat largely unread for two centuries while "The Wealth of Nations" shaped the modern world. But something curious has happened lately. Tech billionaires cite it as life-changing. Philosophers are rediscovering its insights. Because buried in Smith's 18th-century prose lies something we desperately need: a practical guide to living well that doesn't require religion, doesn't demand perfection, and actually works. The question isn't whether Smith's ideas are relevant. It's why we forgot them in the first place.
